ABSTRACT
The social dreaming matrix has its roots in experiences that were attained through participation in groups and psychoanalysis, as in the use of thoughts that such experiences impelled. A social dreaming matrix, a participant once said, is "a social gathering where dreams are divorced from the personality of their authors and shared freely", with the common goal of freely associating thoughts and other dreams to the dream presented so as to find links and discover connections to socially relevant elements in the environment. Two concepts might help to construe and explore a model for social dreaming matrix: protomental system and syncretistic sociality. By the use of ongoing matrices or by the connection of different dreaming matrices, the extent and the quality of the invisible network becomes ever more obvious, adding evidence to the fertility of new evolving holistic and non-reductionist paradigms.
